Windshield Washer Low a fix for a DIY'er
Here is a side level float switch. Drill a hole near bottom of the tank install this run 12V to one side the other to a LED on the dash some place and the last wire to a ground. Total cost less then $3 or $4 bucks. Half hour or so to install.
We can bit$% about it or try and figure out a fix for it. Me I just check mine when I get gas along with the oil and used to be tranny fluid.

Nice idea, but let me get this straight, so someone will pull the tank out, drill a hole, mount a switch, run some wires, mount a light on dash, & reinstall tank just because they don't want to pop the hood once a month or so to check washer fluid??? Really?

noob :)
You don't have to mount the LED in the dash, it could be placed anywhere Many have complained about lack of a warning light...

I go to a full service gas station as my warning light....they top up my washer fluid if needed as well as check my oil...and pump my gas in the arctic cold weather while I go inside and chat with the pretty young lady at the cash register. I always tip the person who pumps my gas as they earn it with the service they provide.
In the summer time I will do this myself while I hand wash my truck, but for now I let the gas station attendant do this for me!
